Not sure I'd be able to get a drill into the caliper to get a sheared bolt out. Unless you split the caliper in half.

I had another look at the fronts today and there is just one side of one caliper that is starting to corrode but I'm going to get them all done now before they get any worse. I managed to get under one side of the plate and clean up the corrosion, so the pads are moving freely again now, but I know I've just put the job off for a month or two.

I will have a word with my local OPC and then Exeter about new calipers at £450, with mine not being too bad I might even get a few quid back for my calipers. If not I think I'm going to have a go myself. The OPC prices for all the bits are the same as type911 so I'll probably just get everything from them, although I will be looking for an alternative to the standard plate bolts.

Thanks again everyone for your help. :D
